We were losing until the 4th, when our filthy Marcus Smart-led defense strangled them to death while Kyrie hit some big buckets like an assassin.

That's been pretty much every game all year.

Kyrie smokes it.

Funny thing. In the game thread I was saying this was Marcus' worst game of the year easily. At the end of the game you look up and he puts up 12 points, leads the team with 8 assists and tied for 2nd with a +15!! That's ridiculous. And again he was in the middle of the comeback. It's a fu*king joke right now. I've never seen a player like this.

As a lot of us said at the time, without him shutting down our own offense starting in the late first (Kyrie and Jaylen on fire, Marcus bricks two threes) and throughout most of the second, we wouldn't have needed those amazing last-gasp plays, though? #secondquartersmatter

Brad: "you can only pull off double figure comebacks if you're behind double figures all the time." :lol:

You deserve a quote for this, because if Marcus was hitting his career rate everyone would be praising him. The fact is, is that he isn't but he is still bringing the best defense he can and he is a massive positive to us winning.

The only way he gets out of this drought is to let him play and keep him going, I don't care what anyone says he is a winner and you need players like him that do all the little things to help a team win, e.g. Iggy for GSW.

How many years should we wait out this drought?

Spoiler:

He is covering opponent's entire franchises in crunch time, you plebs.

Tatum, Brown, Horford, and Kyrie really played some great D down the stretch. Pretty sure Kyrie and Al had game-saving steals in the last minute of the 4th, too. None of them fouled a three-point shooter, either.

Imagine if we had Big Balls Smart for all 30 minutes, he might be better than Kyrie lol.

I actually spent a few minutes the other night with Marcus after the game and asked him about his shooting in the hangar, and all he said was "I'm confident in my shot and so is brad so I'm going to let it fly until I'm told otherwise."

Kid is a stud even if we've maligned him

Which is why he's so uniquely valuable and worth resigning.

That doesn't mean Boston's offensive possessions should so regularly result in a Smart jumper.

I feel like the Smart discussion has gotten too binary. He's either the worst offensive player of all time or he's a guy who singlehandedly wins games in the fourth quarter. The truth is somewhere in the vast, reasonable middle.

If Smart played the way we want him to in the second quarter, he'd be an all star, max contract player.

Booo!

Smart was on everyone and no one was scoring on him. Unlike Horford giving up several layups to Barea. Soft call on that foul, too.

But more than that it is every game he is doing this.

I like looking at the win totals of the other teams on that list.

Whole lot of 60+ season win totals on it!

All the single season streaks are 55+

Good company

well a lot of posters are mentioning Roberson and Rodman as role models.
do your awesome stuff.
just don't take the second most shots on the team.
